The explanation of the dark matter content of the universe is
a major puzzle. In the context of the particle physics models this
puzzle can be resolved by invoking a symmetry between fermions and
bosons- supersymmetry (SUSY). This symmetry also has allowed the
particle theory models to explain a wide range of physical
phenomena. However, to confirm these explanations, the
supersymmetry particles are needed to be directly produced at the
colliders. I will discuss the possibility of discovering the
special features of the supersymmetry model at the upcoming Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) and in other experiments in order to establish
the particle physics explanation of the origin of dark matter.
